Akunis: Zoabi should have been removed from the Knesset six years ago

Science Minister Ofir Akunis responded to Joint List MK Haneen Zoabi's announcement Saturday that she will not run in the upcoming Knesset elections.
"Zoabi ought to have been removed from the Knesset six years ago, following my initiative in the Central Elections Committee," said Science Minister Ofir Akunis.
"The High Court of Justice, in one of its most wretched decisions of all time, brought her back and the entire country suffered as a result for another six whole years in the Knesset. In any event, her departure is a great victory for IDF soldiers - first and foremost the forces that were on the Mavi Marmara."
